Product Spotlight: SOLGW / Forward Controls AR-15 Lower
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лис 2022
- Brownells Gun Tech™ Caleb Savant gives us a "walkaround" of the new Sons of Liberty Gun Works AR-15 lower receiver developed in collaboration with Forward Controls Design. The clean exterior and flowing contours of the stripped receiver itself indicate that it is not your standard mil-spec receiver. The hardcoat anodizing is, however, is done to true U.S. military specifications for exceptional durability. The Forward Controls Design ambidextrous bolt release and ambi mag release have the trademark FCD dimpled contact surfaces.
SOLGW's ambi safety selector has swappable short and long levers, with a short-and-sweet 45-degree throw. That selector is easy to reach from the B5 System pistol grip. Moving farther back, we have the SOLGW A5 receiver extension (aka, buffer tube) with the Vltor A5 buffer system inside. The tube is not shifting because it's anchored by the Forward Controls Design endplate and castle nut. That castle nut is staked not once, not twice, but THREE times so it's not moving. The trigger is SOLGW's ultra-reliable enhanced mil-spec trigger.
One more important note: The SOLGW / FCD Complete AR-15 Lower is available ONLY from Brownells!

Absolutely enjoy my SLGW. Never had a problem
Ordered one Friday, stoked to try it!
Thanks for the laugh this morning Caleb - appreciate your style. Cool lower for sure.
Thanks for the Sons of Liberty commercial, at $ 900.00 not sure it's worth all the hype!
Definitely not worth $900.
Dayum...900...I'm in the wrong business!
It would be hard to swallow at $450
I’d pay $900 if it had a geissele SSA-E and the new A5 Super42 that’s not out yet
Yeah, gonna pass on this one. It's not worth more than three hundred.
Got my Billet upper and lower combo directly from SOLGW for under $500. Built quality is extremely impressive, its my Gucci AR.
very nice.
For the price of that stripped lower, there should be an ambi mag release built into the lower. The Cross Machine and Tool UHP ambi lower is nicer and more equipped as a premium billet ambidextrous lower receiver
This is the perfect lower for my Bear Creek Arsenal 2.5 inch 458 RUM mag upper
Put a muzzle break on that bad boy
No
Lol BCA on a FCD SOLGW? Sacrilegious. That's like putting a Holosun 507 with a Surefire x300.
SOLGW charging that DD price yet again lololol
And they run better.
$899 🤔you can get the PWS MK1 Mod2 complete true ambi lower with BCM stock for $599
@@Actual-user yes they released a 2nd gen mod2
This guy creaming his pants over a piece of metal
Why $900? Why not just go deep and charge $1500? What a fcking joke.
Sons of Liberty is out of touch
Bring this back 😢
Love em both but 900!!! No way dude
Silly me just got the stripped receiver, because CA and we need to run the BS fin grips but half the fun is sourcing parts and assembly. When I picked it up, the associate at the shop was impressed (as was I)...it also helped that he was also a fan of FCD.
Issue I'm having is that the grip doesn't sit flush and square on the lower. I also tried a Magpul MIAD and had the same issue; it appears that there's too much material on the beaver tail but careful filing with an emery board hasn't helped.
I just did the same thing you did
Caleb is looking at FN while saying he hates mismatched parts
Would rather have an LWRC lower
My exact same thoughts, those lowers are way too nice
Can you use ambi bolt release to lock bolt open? I've found that feature of pdq lever more useful than dropping the bolt.
no it's a release only
Redi-catch
Release only. The Silencer Co lower will do both
Does it have bolt catch & release? Or just release
900$ that’s highway robbery!
There's an important detail missing... At that price, what's the metal the thing is made of? Gotta be .9999 silver, at least? Thanks, guys, but at that price, you can keep it.
You should consider an Anderson lower
@@jasonsutton6193 You mean like the small herd of ponies I've already got? Or the multiple 80%ers I've milled out and filled? Or the one I've got that started life as, literally, a bunch of picked-up-on-the-side-of-the-road beer and soda cans, a pile of greensand, and a bucket of waste oil to fire the foundry? (Hint, in case you don't already get it: I ain't skairt of a build-it-on-a-budget pew-dispenser)
Is this combo coming back? Can't seem to find it on the website
I'm not left handed. But my good friend is. I am curious what this lower with a stag arms left sided bolt ejection upper would do for his setup.
Where's Paul?
Idk about the SOLGW warranty... I had their BCG, the gas rings failed me extremely early (the gun would shoot fine, but the gas rings couldnt hold up the weight of the bolt carrier when placed on the face of the bolt), well under 500 rnds. I contacted their customer service through email & never received a reply. Its just gas rings & ive got spares, but it definitely affected my impression of them / trust in them.
$900 lower..... I know it's good but holy
the anodizing is nice any color mismatches will be taken care of with my special rattle can camo design. 😃🤨😯😭
Is solgw a parts manufacturer? I thought they just put their name on other peoples stuff.
@@iamtherealrauschguy i know. I was just making a point because (if i remember correctly because this was a while ago) they said solgw was the manufacturer
What's a reasonable price to pay for a fully ambidextrous AR?
Is the ambi bolt release also an ambi bolt lock or just bolt release?
It’s just a release,can’t lock on right side of the lower like a Mars or LWRC, just a release
bring back the brownells plaid shirts!
Are these no longer available?
They are available. See some stripped ones on primary arms right now
Can you lock the bolt to the rear with the right side bolt catch lever?
No, only release. The only other manufacturer that does that is MVB which Dirty Bird also uses.
You can lock bolt back with LWRC and LMT Mars-L lower
I have the stripped version. Haven’t started building it but have been accumulating all the FCG parts. Pricing it out with what I need and what I’ve spent I don’t think 900 ain’t so bad considering it comes built for you. Yes, you’re paying a premium for name but it also looks super nice.
I just picked one up at Brownells on sale for $620.
@@rustyshackleford8473daaaammnnnn I wish they still had em. That's a steal
if Caleb would like to send me one for christmas, i wouldnt say no
For the low low price of $900😅. I’ll stick with ADM
It's listed for $345 on Brownell's website. Are you adding in the upper and stock?
@@Paladin1873 that’s stripped, complete lower is $900
These prices are ridiculous
@@derek3154 I must be missing something. The Brownells ad says the only things missing are the trigger and butt stock (which don't cost an extra $555), yet when I look at the accompanying photo I do not see any ambidextrous parts and it appears more parts are missing than just the trigger and stock. Is this where you got the $900 figure? If so, I'm surprised at Brownells. I've never known them to mislead their customers.
@@Paladin1873 yes it’s missing all the dimpled parts that go to it. I believe it’s gonna be over $600 to get all those parts….if you can find them.
I can not find this on your site, do you still offer this, as is?
LWRC has a better complete lower with furniture for $500. This is outrageous.
Picking up my stripped receiver today from jail after work. (Fu&k oregon and 114)
I built a complete Radian lower with a Geissele SD3G and VLTOR A5 system for around 750. I guess 900 comes with the SOLGW lifetime warranty.
Key words.. “I built”..
@Slowmo I correct that. "I assembled".
Sounded like a shameless plug just for the #dimplegang . Where's the #serratedgang love?
Caleb, it's a 50 deg selector not 45 deg, offers better drop protection from AD's. the pins are 40 thousand longer to make it a little easier to push them out.
Is the magazine release ambidextrous?
Looks like it
Yep I need a few more 308 but they’re always out, so I’ll go back to my favorite company stag arms
Video length 5.56
Nice touch.
900 dollars for this is crazy. You can get an Aero Precision lower throw a Magpul BAD lever on it and a Radian safety and still save 500 dollars.
Aero is shit and Bad levers are even worse. You shouldn't get one, stick to Anderson
Not even, just get a stripped Radian lower
Don't even have to use one of those hunks of garbage that's aptly named "bad lever", there are other manufacturers that make similar lowers with integrated ambi bolt releases for less than $200.
and you can be a poor
Unbranded AR lower for 100, why go for this?
great lower. The BCM grip mod 3 does not fit on this receiver.
$900
Mil-specs is mil-specs.
Price is a god damn joke.
$900 green backs ! where's the stock, barrel and handguard ?
that kind of money and they throw in a stock trigger? lol
They could’ve done a better job on the ambi mag release too, it’s nice but 900 doesn’t seem reasonable
Its gettin wonkey....
hey at least this one doenst have the cringe markings on the selector switch
Is length of the video intentionally 5:56? :D
More pricey than lwrci and Daniel Defense lowers.
It’s a ambi bolt release not ambi bolt catch!
Id love to see Aero and FCD do a colab some day.
Lol
Say sike right now or I'm calling the cops
@@jeepninja1 what's wrong with dreaming, atleast I didn't say I dream of a day when FCD does a colab with Anderson... Some of y'all gun nuts are quick to be critical haha
@@DurzoBlunts it's like saying you'd like to see perfect 36C's on Danny Devito
Yeah... Um... No. Put the older guy back on the videos. He can talk. 😂
And...
Idk man even stripped it only releases the bolt. Doesnt lock it back. I cant justify it just for clout
Christ
I respect both of these companies but they’re becoming the Supreme of the gun world. Not worth it.
never go full cringe
😉😏👍
Apparently you haven’t been paying attention to noveske…
@@LtAldoRain629noveske handguards are so cringe... Bear creek arsenal lookin shit on a $3600 gun
Lot of “JuSt As GoOd” people in this comment thread😂 Go be broke somewhere else. Also, Where gun?
Only worth half of the MSRP 🤣
More like sons of tyranny
I hate SOLGW with such a passion and I wish people would stop pushing this cringe Spike's Tactical wannabe
$900 for a lower that doesn't even come with a stock is just absolutely ridiculous...
Sorry 900$ is very hard to explain when looking at that lower . I just got an entire bcm lower with the new trigger pack and mod0 stock for 350 non blem. I ordered the fcd bolt catch and I’m still under 450 .
🦆🦆🦆
This was purely an advertisement for something horribly overpriced.
$900 oof...... a little steep for not that much innovation.
